HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 cc248-9W
91. Major Wyatt

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange for an increase in the supply of doth to book publishers for binding purposes to enable them to take full advantage of the recent increase in the paper quota.

Mr. Marquand

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend the Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge) on 3rd June. The allocation of cotton yarn for book cloth was increased in March and again in July, and I hope that further increases will be possible as the supply of cotton yarn improves.
